American Fortune Life

"Okay, it's not going to be separated for a long time, or you can just go back to Los Angeles with me."

Andy laughed softly, and comforted Ivana in his arms while talking, patting her on the back.

"Forget it, I still have things to do here, and I'm also responsible for the production of the Giants' championship ring. I don't want to make any mistakes, and the New York media will not let me go."

Ivana's pretty face was full of reluctance, pouted red chun, raised her arms around Andy's neck and said, until Andy lowered his head and kissed her chun again.

After the two kissed for a while on the private helipad, Ivana reluctantly watched Andy go up the hanging ladder.

"Get your dresses ready, see you on the 10th, boo—" Andy stood on the hanging ladder and waved to Ivana with a smile. He let out a wen, then turned around and boarded the plane quickly.

Ivana watched Andy's back disappear into the cabin door, the ladder car separated, and watched the plane turn around slowly. She took out a pair of big sunglasses and put them on, turned around and walked to the car, bent down and sat in the car, The bodyguards closed the doors and the car pulled off the tarmac.

On the plane, Andy was holding coffee, looking at the scenery outside the window, listening to the financial and financial briefings of his assistant. There was not much good news. Even the price of gold delivered in April fell back to 905 US dollars per ounce, not to mention Speaking of the stock market, except for the three-game losing streak of U.S. stocks, global stock markets are wailing in the midst of a fall.

The finance ministers and central bank governors of the seven western countries gathered in the foot basin to discuss how to deal with the impact of the US subprime mortgage crisis. In the face of the global financial turmoil, to be honest, even now, they still do not want to admit that this is already a global crisis. There is a financial crisis.

As for the good news, the Rockets have won five consecutive victories. After McGrady was sick and unable to play, the Rockets played at a high level. This made many fans question McGrady's role in the Rockets. What Houston fans don't know is that, This summer, their superstar will be kicked out of the Rockets by Andy. As for how to trade, the Rockets' management is almost scratching their heads.

At present, there are not many shooting guards in the league who can compare with Tracy McGrady, and those few are their own star players. They cannot be exchanged, but Tracy McGrady must be thrown out. He is already an insurance player. A grenade can explode at any time. It is better to blow up others than to blow up your own.

By the time the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport, it was already evening, and the setting sun dyed the sky red.

The motorcade of a group of people drove towards Andy's villa quickly. To be honest, the villa I live in now seems a bit small, and it is indeed necessary to change to a bigger manor villa, but the real estate in Beverly Hills is now There are not many existing houses that can be seen, and most of the good houses live in those big Hollywood stars.

This time Ivana came over, and he happened to take Ivana to see a real estate together, which was the famous mansion in Beverly Hills known as the Flower of Lys.

The "Flower of Lys" covers an area of ​​50,000 square feet (approximately 4,645 square meters). The previous owner was Susan Saperstein. She and her then husband, Texas millionaire David Saperstein, hired someone to custom-build the villa in 2002.

But what makes people speechless is that Susan and her husband divorced three years after the completion of the villa. She sold the villa last year, in 2007, at a price of 125 million. It was during the global economic downturn. Naturally, no one would spend that much money to buy it. Andy had seen the brochure of this mansion and liked it very much. After all, there is a small Palace of Versailles. Not much to say about its beautiful and luxurious reputation.

However, since Andy knows how the global economy will decline in the future, real estate prices will fall into the abyss, even if the prices of luxury houses in Beverly Hills are not affected, but in this economic environment, bargaining is still very easy. It's tens of millions of dollars, which is not a small amount, and Andy will naturally not be a fool to take this mansion right now.

Andy will naturally ask Ivana for her opinion on this kind of mansion, but she should like it. In addition to the standard equipment such as a large number of bedrooms, bathrooms, swimming pools, theaters, etc., the magnificent dance hall is decorated with mirrors. Arch, inspired by the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles. There are also luxurious chandeliers and ceiling paintings.

Ivana, who has been influenced by family traditions, is not immune to the luxury of local tyrants and European courts. It's not that Andy meant to be sarcastic. Eliminated by time, it can also satisfy the aesthetic time of most people.

Back in the small villa of a few hundred square meters, Andy's mood became peaceful and extremely relaxed. I don't know if it's from his heart. Once he returns here, he will feel more at ease.

For Andy's return, the happiest thing is Kuaiyin and the witch, Dubin, who is already a big guy, and of course, his housekeeper Liu Yan who has no subordinates.

Liu Yan, who was wearing an apron, had a tangled expression after Andy came back, and the appearance of talking and talking became a little strange in Andy's eyes.

The dinner was an unusually rich Sichuan cuisine, which surprised Andy. After Liu Yan arranged the food this time, she finally told Andy the truth with a little apology.

It turned out that Liu Yan's daughter was pregnant again last year. Seeing that the child was about to be born, she had to go back to take care of her daughter to give birth, and to take care of the confinement and take care of the child.

"...I understand, Aunt Liu, I would like to offer you a toast. Thank you for your care and concern for me over the past year. Thank you very much." Andy poured a glass of ice wine for Liu Yan, who had red eyes, and also A little sad, but still said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I want to thank you too. I have taught Tori some of your favorite dishes. Although she still doesn't know much about cooking, just practice more and it will be fine. . . ”

Liu Yan started the parting nagging mode, and all kinds of instructions also diluted some of the sadness.

After dinner, Andy personally helped Liu Yan put her luggage in the car. After another big hug, she sent Liu Yan, who wiped her tears, into the car. Watching the car drive away from the gate of the villa, Andy stood in the yard speechless for a long time.

In fact, he also knows that it will be a matter of time before Liu Yan leaves. Although the salary he gives is not low, Liu Yan, who already has a little family background and has a good family, will definitely not stay for too long after adapting to life in the United States. After all, it's not for survival, no one likes to serve others.

What's more, if Andy moves into a bigger house, he will not continue to hire Liu Yan. She is not suitable for Andy's living environment in the future, and more professional and professional housekeepers and servants will be main choice.

To be honest, Andy's life with only one Liu Yan as the chef and housekeeper is a bit strange. Even in his home in New York, there will be five maids who work together, which is very rare.

Ordinary billionaires, who don't have at least twenty servants to serve, Ivana has reminded Andy about this matter more than once or twice, but Andy doesn't care.

"Um~um~"

Andy looked down at Kuaiyin and the witch, who were squatting beside him on the left and right, raising their heads and humming at him, and couldn't help laughing: "I know you two guys are with me! Let's go, take you to eat delicious food."

"Wow woof—"

On the sofa in the living room, Andy leaned cross-legged and watched TV. Quicksilver and the witch each pressed their chins on Andy's lap, half-closed their eyes, and comfortably enjoyed the caress of their master.

Suddenly, both Kuaiyin and the witch raised their heads, their eyes became brighter, as if they heard something, Andy was a little curious to see the bright lights flashing outside the house, and looked at the time, it was already 8:30 in the evening Well, the only one who can come in at this time is Carl.

Putting on the slippers, closing the skirt of the nightgown on his body, he said to the two dogs, "Let's go and have a look."

Quicksilver and the witch jumped off the sofa very nimbly, and rushed to the gate quickly. Andy opened the door, and the two dogs slipped out, only to hear a few barks and Karl's displeased scolding. "What are you howling, don't scream!"

Andy walked to the garage with some curiosity, and saw a black Chevrolet SUV being driven into the garage. Carl was turning around and yelling at the two dogs, while his two bodyguards were pressing the garage switch to close the garage door. door.

"I said, what are you doing sneaking around at night? And you put a car in my garage?"

Carl saw Andy coming, with an excited smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to hold Andy and walked to the side door, "Let's go back to the room and say, what you want..." 8)
